Can I Move Steam Games From One Drive to Another?

I have Steam installed in my C drive on my PC with libraries in H and C. I want to move the steam itself. Is there another way to do this than copying and pasting the real Steam files into the new location?

The answer is YES, you can move Steam games from one drive to another. 

The easiest and most straightforward way to move Steam games is by copying the "Steam" folder and then pasting it to the new drive. While copying, you need to ensure that the Steam isn't working. Once you've finished the file transferring, it will update and work normally. Now, you can delete the original "Steam" folder on the original drive.

However, most Steam games take up much storage space, and the Steam folders are usually large. Many users have experienced data loss while pasting copied files to another location.

If you can ensure the data integrity during the copy and paste process, you'd better use a professional tool, like EaseUS Todo Backup, which will completely back up all Steam game files from one drive to another without any loss. With just a few clicks, it will move all Steam data from one drive to another:

  • Download and launch EaseUS Todo Backup on your computer. 
  • Click Create backup > Select File.
  • Locate the Steam folder and click Next.
  • Choose another drive where you plan to put the Steam games, and click Next.
  • Click Backup now to start the process.
